The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

Chapter 472: Chapter 471: Teleport

The Dark Sword Qi slowly dissipated. Just then, ripples suddenly appeared in the air. A pitch-black spear wreathed in four-colored light abruptly pierced into the White Flood Dragon’s neck. In an instant, a torrent of blood dyed the lake’s surface red!

"ROAR!!"

The White Flood Dragon threw its head back and roared, terrifying shockwaves erupting from its body. The waves swept outwards in all directions like a raging tsunami, throwing Qin Ya dozens of yards back!

"Damned human, to sneak attack me!"

Qin Ya’s brow furrowed as he looked at the blood that had only stained half his spear’s length. He was shocked by the Flood Dragon’s physical resilience; the Defense Power of its scales was comparable to a Pseudo-Spiritual Artifact, and its flesh was so tough that foreign objects struggled to penetrate deep.

"Brother Qin! It’s Brother Qin!"

"That’s right, I couldn’t mistake that spear. Besides, the only weapon capable of piercing the White Flood Dragon’s scales is Brother Qin’s Spiritual Artifact, Breaking Army."

"And being able to conceal his presence—it has to be Brother Qin."

Although Qin Ya had concealed himself, the others were still able to guess it was him.

At that moment, Qin Ya’s voice suddenly rang in their minds.

"Get out of here, quickly. I’ll hold this Flood Dragon off."

The group nodded. They knew the Flood Dragon was difficult to handle, and staying would be of no help. They supported the injured Leng Qiushan and prepared to leave at once.

"Trying to leave?!"

Just as they were about to leave, the White Flood Dragon roared. A boundless, terrifying bestial pressure erupted from it, like an entire ocean being whipped into a raging storm.

The oppressive, ferocious pressure made their spirits tremble.

This bestial might was similar to the pressure of a Martial Arts King’s True Intent!

Seeing this, Qin Ya’s gaze sharpened. Spear in hand, he charged forward. The four-colored Power of Nature swirled around his weapon as he thrust it out abruptly. His target: the eye!

A chill swept over the White Flood Dragon, and it instinctively shut its eyes. The spear struck the eyelid with a CLANG, like metal striking metal, sending a shower of sparks flying. But with a flick of Qin Ya’s wrist, the spear began to spin like a drill!

PFFT...

The spear broke through the eyelid and stabbed in, erupting in a cloud of bloody mist. The White Flood Dragon let out an earth-shattering roar and began to thrash its entire body.

"ROAR, ROAR!"

"Damned human, I’ll devour you!"

"ROAR!"

Only now did Qin Ya truly feel the immense power of the Flood Dragon’s thrashing. The arm holding the spear felt like it was about to be dislocated, the pain was excruciating. The bones throughout his body felt on the verge of shattering, letting out unbearable creaks and groans.

Seeing that the others had gotten far away, Qin Ya was about to pull out his spear and flee. But suddenly, an immense force dragged him down into the water. With a great splash, torrents of water crashed over him, and he couldn’t help but inhale several mouthfuls of the icy lake water.

The Flood Dragon suddenly dove for the bottom of the lake. One thousand feet, five thousand, twenty thousand feet deep. The immense pressure of the water crushed in on him from all directions. Qin Ya could feel his bones trembling and cracking, his flesh wracked with a tearing pain. The Flood Dragon was trying to drown him alive!

The slender Flood Dragon swam freely through the lake—rolling, whipping its tail, diving up and down. Its every move churned the currents at the bottom, creating a violent undertow. Meanwhile, Qin Ya circulated his True Essence to forcibly resist the crushing pressure. He yanked Breaking Army free and shot toward the surface.

Thanks to the Ghost Face Mask, the Flood Dragon couldn’t track his movements. Otherwise, even with the speed granted by the Second Layer of Mysterious Speed, he would have found it impossible to utilize at a depth of thousands of feet. He would have been swallowed alive.

A moment later, Qin Ya burst through the lake’s surface, gasping for fresh air. He immediately rushed in the direction Luox Xinyu and the others had fled. He had only gone a few hundred yards when he heard a colossal wave erupt behind him, followed by the Flood Dragon’s roar, thick with fury and indignation. He couldn’t help but quicken his pace!

Before long, he found Luox Xinyu and the others resting in a cave. They were all in a sorry state. Qin Ya walked over and asked, "How is everyone? Any serious injuries?" He then looked over at Leng Qiushan, who was meditating to heal his wounds, and Gu Lin, whose face was deathly pale. His brow furrowed slightly.

He walked over and examined them. One was severely injured, and the other had exhausted his True Essence by using a Mysterious Technique. ’Fortunately,’ he thought, ’these aren’t big problems for me.’

He took out two Pseudo-Spiritual Pills and had the two of them take one each.

After a short while, they both began to slowly recover.

Leng Qiushan sighed with admiration. "Heh, Brother Qin, you truly live up to your name as the Pill King. With you around, we won’t have to worry about getting injured in any fight."

Gu Lin also nodded. "Indeed."

"You two still have the energy to trade barbs? Tell me what happened."

Luox Xinyu explained, "We headed deep into the mountain range, leaving markers for you along the way. We arrived at the lake not long ago and intended to rest for a while, but we stumbled upon the napping White Flood Dragon. And, well... you know the rest."

The implication was that the awakened Flood Dragon, furious at being disturbed, had tried to swallow them whole, and a fight had broken out.

"To run into a Flood Dragon... Our luck is really terrible."

One of them said dejectedly. Then, as if struck by a thought, he turned to Qin Ya and asked, "Brother Qin, you came looking for us... does that mean you found the Teleportation Platform?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Qin Ya.

Qin Ya smiled faintly. "Precisely."

"That’s great!"

"Ha! If we’ve found the Teleportation Platform, we can enter the Second Layer!"

"Brother Qin, take us there, quickly!"

Qin Ya shook his head. "There’s no rush. Everyone is exhausted after the battle with the White Flood Dragon. We should rest for a few days before we go."

"He’s right," Luox Xinyu agreed. "We don’t know what other dangers we might face on the way. We should all rest up and recover to our peak condition before we go."

"Alright."

「Two days later.」 With the help of Qin Ya’s Elixirs, everyone had finally recovered to their peak condition.

Qin Ya led the group high into the sky, flying directly toward the Teleportation Platform. They encountered several flocks of flying beasts along the way, but the team dealt with them one by one. Their luck held; they didn’t encounter any Fierce Beasts as powerful as the White Flood Dragon again.

Soon, they arrived at the valley containing the Teleportation Platform.

The valley was enveloped in a strange power, and not a single Fierce Beast was in sight. The Teleportation Platform stood in the center. It was a square structure, glowing with a faint cyan light and covered in countless mysterious Runes that pulsed with a peculiar energy.

The very Space around it seemed to be warped.

"Congratulations. You are the second team to arrive here."

That mysterious voice spoke again. Qin Ya frowned slightly. "Who exactly are you? And who was the first team to get here?"

"Hmm. As for who I am, you don’t need to know yet."

"As for the first team? That would be the group from the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect. Their luck was a little better than yours; they found this place two days earlier."

"Come on up. I’ll send you to the Second Layer."

Hearing this, the group didn’t hesitate and stepped onto the platform. A flash of white light flared, ripples spread through the surrounding Space, and then Qin Ya and his companions vanished without a trace.
